| | The Sound Of Silence Lyrics Artist(Band):Simon and Garfunkel
I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds of silence." If you find some error in The Sound Of Silence Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Graham for submitting the lyrics. Review about The Sound Of Silence Amazing song | Reviewer: Bryan | 12/4/09 Michelle, that is an incredible stratement. In a presidential election the voice of the people is always heard. Please apologize to me and the rest of the Republican party for making such a ridiculous comment. Also, I would like to add in April of 2007 Art Garfunkel made a mockery of Bill Clinton during one of his shows. Not a very loyal democrat. the sound of silence | Reviewer: Michelle Schwimer | 11/8/08 Funny how a song that was written so many years ago can relate to the times of today.Listening to the words makes me think of our latest Presidential election and how the people of this country were silent no more. No longer following the Republican neon lights. People all around the world speaking, listening, sharing no longer in the sound of silence. truth about da world | Reviewer: nurul | 9/12/08 first i heard this song around my age 10 ..my dad really luv it..and now i'm 20..this song wanna tell us what is lying inside the world.. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share people are unexpctd..we never know what inside them..all are hidden...but life still goes on Explanation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/7/08 No, I don't believe this song is the least bit condescending. Simon or whoever is having the dream is simply trying to warn the 10,000 people that silence is dangerous and offers to teach them his words and reach out his arms to help them. However, they ignore him and continue to worship the "neon light." can you say condescending? | Reviewer: george | 4/4/08 There once was a time that I liked this song. A long, long, time ago. But eventually, lyrics such as the following got to me... "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. The sheer level of arrogance and seelf importance in those words is beyond comprehension. The melody is OK but the lyrics...[roll eyes] Fantastic | Reviewer: CostiganLove | 12/24/07 This song is beautiful and melancholy in it's lyrics. No matter where you hear it, you have to listen and reflect on the lyrics. It makes me feel very isolated and engrossed in the song. A masterpiece! Sound of Silence-A song of deep beauty | Reviewer: Liz | 8/14/07 This song is beautiful and brings tears to the eye. It has so much meaning, I think it is referring to the need to protest, if we are all silent when there are problems those problems will never be fixed. Silence like a cancer grows, people are sometimes too afraid to speak their minds. The sound of silence | Reviewer: Angela | 6/17/07 it's a beautiful song. i saw its lyrics on my english exam. it's great =) A True Simon Classic | Reviewer: Sunfish | 3/26/07 Indeed one of Simon's greatest. Ultimately, he was saying that his songs were falling on deaf ears in the music industry at the time, as well as local audiences. Originally an acoustic guitar song with vocal harmonies, bass and drum parts were added...and BOOM...we have one of the greatest songs ever. dark yet light | Reviewer: Monica Snicket | 2/26/06 this song is dark in its lyrics, and yet light in the melody in true Simon and Garfunkel fashion. a wonderful peice of music to be remembered forever by true classic rockers everywhere.
